The Indiana Pacers basketball team had begun playing during the inaugural basketball season of the American Basketball Association or ABA in the year 1967. At that time, the ABA was setup as an alternative league for the National Basketball Association. On the first six years of the Indiana Pacers basketball, they played at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum, which is also known as the Pepsi Coliseum. However, in the year 1974, the Indiana Pacers arena moved to its new playing ground at Market Square Arena which is located in downtown Indianapolis. The team stayed at Market Square Arena for about twenty five years.
In the early years, the Indiana Pacers roster included great players such as Roger Brown, Rick Mount, George McGinnis, and Mel Daniels, with Bob Leonard as the team’s head coach. In the year 1980, Alex English was involved in Indiana Pacers’ trade with the Nuggets for the acquisition of former ABA’s star player George McGinnis. And thereafter, they had played excellent basketball for a while before they went into a slump.
In 1990, Indiana Pacers went the distance in the playoffs but were ousted by the Pistons. But that year was well-remembered by fans as one of the highlight years of Pacers basketball. As a result, the 1990 Indiana Pacers jerseys are considered collectors’ items for Indiana Pacers fans. In the 2004 season, the Indiana Pacers vs. Miami Heat game happened to be one of the most remarkable events in the history of basketball. Though the game was finally won by Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers put up very solid resistance in a very intense match-up.
